Chhoti Diwali: Naraka Chaturdashi Puja Vidhi, Shubh Muhurat, Katha aur Mahatva
Chhoti Diwali: Prakash aur Vijay ka Pavitra Din
Diwali ke roshan utsav ki shuruaat Dhanteras se hoti hai aur uske turant baad aata hai Naraka Chaturdashi, jise hum Chhoti Diwali kehte hain.
Ye din roshni, pavitrata, aur positivity ka prateek hai.
Pauranik kathao ke anusar isi din Bhagwan Shri Krishna ne Narakasura naam ke rakshas ka vadh kiya tha aur dharti ko uske atyachar se mukti dilai thi.
Tab se log is din deep jalakar aur pooja karke is vijay ko yaad karte hain.
Chhoti Diwali ka arth hai — “Andhkaar par Prakash ki Vijay.”
Ye din humein sikhata hai ki ek chhoti si roshni bhi sabse gehre andhkaar ko mita sakti hai.
Chhoti Diwali ki Katha (Narakasura Vadh Story)
Purano me varnan milta hai ki Narakasura, Bhudevi ka putra tha aur uske paas bohot shaktishaali vardaan the.
Lekin shakti milte hi usne anyaay aur atyachar shuru kar diya.
Usne devtaon aur rishiyon ko bandi bana liya, aur Indralok tak par apna adhikar jamaya.
Jab sab or anyaay badh gaya, tab Bhagwan Shri Krishna ne apni patni Satyabhama ke saath milkar Narakasura ka samhaar kiya.
Uski mrityu ke baad prithvi par logon ne khushi me deep jalakar utsav manaya, jo aage chal kar Chhoti Diwali ke naam se jana gaya.
Chhoti Diwali Puja Vidhi (How to Perform Naraka Chaturdashi Puja)
Subah Brahma muhurat me uthkar ghar ki safai karein.
Snan se pehle ubtan (haldi, besan, chandan aur tel) lagakar “Abhyang Snan” karein.
Surya ko jal arpit karein aur mantra jaap karein –
“Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya Namah”
Ghar ke pravesh dwar par deep jalayein.
Ek diya Yamraj ke naam se jalakar ghar ke bahar dakshin disha me rakhein — ise Yam Deepdan kehte hain.
Bhagwan Krishna, Maa Lakshmi aur Yamraj ki puja karein.
Phool, mithai, aur deepak arpit kar ke aarti karein.
Ye sab karne se ghar me samriddhi, raksha aur shanti bani rehti hai.
Shubh Muhurat (Best Time for Puja & Deepdan)
Chhoti Diwali ke din Pradosh Kaal me puja karna sabse shubh mana gaya hai —
ye samay surya ast ke baad aur raat hone se pehle ka hota hai.
Isi samay deep jalana aur yam deepdan karna bhagyodayi hota hai.
Religious Story of Naraka Chaturdashi
Puranon ke anusar, Narakasura ek atyant balshali aur krur rakshas tha jisne 16,000 devi-samaan streeon ko bandi bana rakha tha.
Uske atyacharon se prithvi kanp uthi.
Tab Bhagwan Vishnu ke avataar Shri Krishna ne apni patni Satyabhama ke saath uska vadh kiya.
Is vijay ke baad logon ne apne ghar deepo se saja diye aur anand manaya.
Tab se ye din Naraka Chaturdashi ke naam se prasiddh hua — jo “Andhkaar ke samapan” ka prateek hai.
Yam Deepdan ka Mahatva
Is din ek diya Yamraj ke naam jalaya jaata hai, jise Yam Deepdan kehte hain.
Kaha jaata hai ki jo vyakti is din deep jalata hai, usse akal mrityu ka bhay nahi hota.
Ye diya suraksha, ayu aur shanti ka prateek hai.
Diwali se Judhe Kuch Kisse
Gift wali Diwali
Friend 1: “Tera gift kaisa laga?”
Friend 2: “Mujhe toh laga main hi wo gift hu jise sab exchange kar rahe hain!”
Gift Exchange Logic
Friend 1: “Maine tujhe sweets di thi, tu mujhe candle kyu de gaya?”
Friend 2: “Tere ghar ki light zyada bright lagi, balance kar raha tha!
Chhoti Diwali aur Positivity ka Sandesh
Chhoti Diwali hume sikhati hai ki chhoti si roshni bhi sabse gahre andhkaar ko mita sakti hai.
Har diya ek prerna hai — jeevan me ujala banne ki.
Is din log apne ghar aur dil dono me roshni bharte hain, negativity ko door karte hain aur naye sapno ka swagat karte hain.
Beautiful Moral Story (Short Anecdote)
Ek samay ek garib vyakti ne Chhoti Diwali ki raat apne ghar ke bahar ek chhota sa diya jalaya.
Uske padosi ne kaha —
“Bas ek diya? Itni badi raat ke liye ye kafi nahi hai!”
Garib vyakti muskuraya aur bola —
“Roshni chhoti ho sakti hai, par mere vishwas ka ujala sabse bada hai।”
Us raat Maa Lakshmi sabse pehle uske ghar aayi —
kyunki jahaan shraddha hoti hai, wahin asli roshni hoti hai।
Conclusion
Chhoti Diwali sirf Deep jalane ka din nahi —
ye atma ke andhkaar ko mita kar jeevan me ujala lane ka tyohar hai।
Naraka Chaturdashi hume sikhati hai ki har paap, har chinta aur har andhkaar ko vishwas aur bhakti ke deep se dur kiya ja sakta hai।
Is varsh aur har varsh, apne ghar hi nahi, apne man ke deepak bhi jalaiye —
kyunki wahi asli “Chhoti Diwali” hai .
